"Please show the original household registration books of both parties."

Lin Haitang gave Meng Lang a peculiar look.

"It's one thing to be familiar with the road, but why did you even bring your household registration book?"

If she hadn't acted on impulse herself, she would have thought Meng Lang had planned this all along.

"Ahem! It's just a trip... better to be prepared."

"Who brings a household registration book on a trip..."

Haha... Can I say that I had my parents rush it from Beihu by express delivery a couple of days ago? That's what you call being well-prepared!

The lady checking their documents glanced at them with a slightly strange look, then handed Lin Haitang's household registration book back.

"There's some stain on the female's household registration book, making it hard to read. Could you please write your ID number on this sheet of paper to confirm?"

"Stain?" Both looked puzzled as they took the book for a look.

Sure enough, on one line of ID numbers, two digits were obscured by a small patch of black ink, making them unclear.

Without thinking much, Lin Haitang took the paper and added her personal details as requested.

Yet, Meng Lang's heart skipped a beat as he looked at the ink marks that resembled tiny tadpoles...

"Haitang, how did this happen?"

"Uh... not sure, maybe when I was little I accidentally knocked over some ink. It seems like it's been like this for a long time." Lin Haitang mumbled as she filled out the information.

"Hmm..."

For some reason, Meng Lang's intuition grew stronger.

If all of this today was a "destiny" arrangement, there's no way the other side wouldn't leave any clues, there must be a way... even if it's just leaving traces of having existed...

[Someday, my mystery will be unraveled...]

But what exactly is this mystery? Meng Lang still had many unresolved questions. Besides the words "Encounter" on that old photo, there were no other clues.

Thinking from another perspective, under what circumstances would it be appropriate to convey information to future generations?

Hmm... first ensure it's to one's own people...

Then... what "own people" could be more formal than being written into the same household registration book as an "official recognition"?

While Meng Lang was deep in thought, the registration had finished checking the information.

"Everything is in order, now I just need to confirm if both of you voluntarily agree to register for marriage?"

The two couldn't help but exchange a glance.

"Are you... really not having second thoughts?"

Lin Haitang's palms were slightly pale from clenching, but she feigned nonchalance and turned her head.

"Even if there are regrets, breaking up is the norm in this world, we are not exceptions..."

Ha! It really is the same line as the "previous episode"...

Meng Lang chuckled and took her hand.

"Yeah, but humans are such creatures.

They need to believe they are the exception to be satisfied..."

Lin Haitang: "..."

"Snap!" The seal was stamped!

...

Evening, Su City high-speed rail station.

"Sis, over here!"

Sharp-eyed Xiao Yu spotted the two emerging from the crowd and waved excitedly, running towards them.

Lin Haitang quickly pulled her hand away from someone else's, putting on a slightly unnatural smile.

"Xiao Yu, why are you here? Didn't we agree you didn't have to pick us up?"

"Because Sister Weiwei said she wanted to surprise you and uncle, hehe!"

Lin Haitang looked up at the approaching Yan Weiwei, and her gaze strangely averted.

Although they were far away just now and didn't notice the little movements amidst the bustling crowd, a woman's intuition is sharp.

Yan Weiwei observed Lin Haitang's slightly unnatural expression, scanning both of them, a hint of suspicion in her eyes.

Between these two... something seems off with the atmosphere?

"Haitang, how's work going, is it smooth?"

"Yeah! It's been... okay, I guess..."

"Haha, thanks to you, Weiwei, for going out of your way. Really too kind, here, here, here, these are some souvenirs we brought for you." Meng Lang said with a smile.

"What is it?" Xiao Yu took the small bag from Meng Lang and looked inside.

"Candy?"

"Yes, from Daohua Village, a famous Beijing product."

"Thank you, Uncle!"

"Tch! I don't even like sweets..."

Yan Weiwei pouted but took the bag anyway, then led them to the parking lot.

But then he was dumbfounded...

"Beep~" The car lights flashed.

Surprisingly, Yan Weiwei wasn't driving her Porsche today but a black Volkswagen SUV.

Meng Lang looked at the rather "ordinary" Volkswagen car, then looked at Yan Weiwei puzzled.

"What happened? We were only gone a few days, where's that fancy Porsche of yours?

Did you help the elderly? How many of them? Such a downgrade?"

Yan Weiwei rolled her eyes at him and tossed him the keys.

"Here, from now on, it's yours!"

"Uh..."

Meng Lang caught the keys, dumbfounded, "What do you mean?"

"Did you forget? You helped me climb that mountain before, and I promised to give you a consultant fee?

There you go! Just as you asked, it's low-key, luxurious, with connotations, and... it's bulletproof!"

Meng Lang was stunned.

He just remembered there was indeed such a thing.

But it was just a joking remark back then, he didn't expect Yan Weiwei to remember it all this time...
